Green vegetable supply is assured, but prices have soared.
A 2-3 kg squash or cabbage now costs consumers VND 70-120,000. Herbs such as fennel, onion, and coriander have also become expensive.
Ms. Lan from Bac Tu Liem District was surprised to find that VND 10,000 only bought her two sprigs of onion leaves and a small bunch of coriander.
Ms. Duong Thi Hue, a Hanoi-based fish cake producer, said green vegetable prices were surging. “Today, I bought 10 kg of fennel in bulk for VND 2.5 million. That’s VND 250,000 per kg” – shared Ms. Hue.
Hanoi and northern supermarkets assert that despite challenges, they will strive to stabilize green vegetable and food prices.

According to WinMart, the supermarket system will continue its promotional programs to support customers, including a 20% discount on MEATDeli clean meat and WinEco clean vegetables for members.
